Rega Planar 6 RS + RB880 + Nd9 + Neo MK2 PSU
Turntable
Relative price
below typical
Among the 40 turntables in the catalogue, this one is below typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
What it is
UNSUSPENDED RIGID: same isolation requirements as P6.
